Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

High Five - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, Bulk attempts to climb the rope and breaks it, pulling it down with several pieces of the ceiling coming down on top of him. At the end of the episode, this is suddenly all fixed with Trini climbing the same rope. The same gum and dirty spots are all around the top again with the ceiling appearing completely undamaged from before despite Bulk yanking it free and breaking the ceiling. (00:19:25)

Teamwork - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Kimberley and Trini are fighting the Putties and see the giant Minotaur pass by there is, what looks like, a small child between them. This child is not seen before or after this one shot. (00:11:09)

Power Ranger Punks - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Alpha is preparing the antidote for Billy and Kimberly after they are turned into punks, the cups change from being half full to having only a small amount of liquid. (00:13:30)

Dark Warrior - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When the Rangers find Uncle Howard tied to the bombs, Howard asks "Did he tell you about the bomb?" then we see the clock counting down from 18 seconds. A few seconds later, Billy is being encouraged to deactivate the bomb. We get another view of the clock with Billy's hand trying to deactivate it, and the clock is counting down from 18 seconds again. (00:11:55)

Switching Places - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When the Rangers first appear against Genie, he shoots rods at the rangers which stick in the ground, he then fires a string type substance at them. However the rods have disappeared. (00:11:40)

Suggested correction: This isn't a continuity mistake. The Triceratops forms the legs and are the wheels of the tank mode. That's the shot of the left leg of the tank mode's (i.e. the Triceratops) tracks rolling along the ground.

Green With Evil (1): Out of Control - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: Up until Green No More in Series 2 (where the Green Ranger powers are destroyed), the Green Ranger's overshield constantly changes between solid-looking metal to flimsy-looking cotton. This is the most obvious difference between the Japanese and US footage.

Gung Ho! - S1-E25

Continuity mistake: When the 2 Ninjas are demonstrating their skills, they break a wooden board and the board is placed on the floor off the mat. Camera cuts and now the broken board is on the mat. (00:04:45)

Trivia: Portions of every episode are from a Japanese version of the show. Almost every episode in series 1 was two thirds Japanese footage, just voiced over. Saban used this Japanese footage to save on filming its own.

Answer: Probably to save on costs of filming the same scene. In the reused shots they have always morphed so you can't see the actors. They just have to pay them to do voice-overs rather than the entire scene.
